Caesarean birth can leave scars that affect not only your physical appearance but also your self-esteem. If you too have been left with scars after a caesarean birth and want to regain your self-confidence, we invite you to discover some effective and modern solutions to treat them. Here are the main cutting-edge technologies that can transform the look of your skin and help you feel comfortable again!
Nordlys: multifunctional platform integrating three technologies
Nordlys is a platform originally developed by Ellipse, a global leader in medical and aesthetic technology. This innovative solution combines three leading technologies - IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), Frax 1550 Laser and Nd:YAG 1064 Laser - in a single system, thus offering personalized and effective treatments for post-cesarean scars.
Frax 1550 is a fractional rejuvenation technology that uses lasers to stimulate collagen production and repair damaged tissue. The tiny micro-injuries created by the laser cause the skin to heal naturally, resulting in a smoother texture and a visible reduction in scarring. The treatment is minimally invasive and the recovery period is short. IPL technology is effective for treating pigmentation and redness around scars. Intensely pulsed light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by excessive pigment, opening and evening out the scar color.
Nd:YAG is a laser technology that penetrates deep into the skin, making it ideal for treating older and deeper scars or vascular lesions. It stimulates collagen production at a deep level, improving skin texture and elasticity. Nd:YAG treatment is safe and effective, providing long-lasting results without significant side effects [1].
Cronosderm and Dermapen: advanced microneedling
Microneedling is a popular method of scar treatment, and Cronosderm and Dermapen are two of the most advanced devices available on the market today. Both use micro-needles to create tiny lesions in the skin, stimulating the natural healing process and the production of collagen and elastin.
Cronosderm
Cronosderm is a high quality microneedling device known for its safety and effectiveness. It can treat scars by improving the texture and evenness of the skin. The procedure is minimally invasive and one session lasts about 30 minutes, so the treatment is ideal for moms with busy schedules [2].
Dermapen
Dermapen is another microneedling device prized for its precision and outstanding results. Using a multiple micro-needling treatment head, the Dermapen creates approximately 1,300 micro-injections into the skin, facilitating the absorption of skincare products and stimulating cell regeneration. The treatment is comfortable and the effects start to become visible after just a few sessions with Dermapen[3].
Vivace: radiofrequency microneedling
Vivace Therapy combines microneedling with radiofrequency, offering an advanced solution for skin rejuvenation and scar treatment. This technology stimulates collagen and elastin production at deeper levels, improving skin texture and elasticity.
How does it work?
Vivace utilizes gold-plated micro-waves and radiofrequency energy to create micro-injuries in the skin. They stimulate the natural healing process and collagen production, while the radiofrequency heats deep tissues, improving skin firmness and elasticity. The treatment is minimally invasive and requires a short recovery time.
Vivace offers remarkable results for post-cesarean scars, reducing their visibility and improving skin texture. The treatment is customized to your needs and the effects are visible after a few sessions [4]. Thus, Vivace is a great solution for moms who want to regain their self-confidence and enjoy firmer, even-looking skin!
Chemical peel with PRX-T33
Chemical peel with PRX-T33 is an innovative procedure that combines the benefits of a classic chemical peel with the advantages of bio-revitalization. PRX-T33 utilizes a combination of trichloroacetic acid (TCA), kojic acid and hydrogen peroxide to stimulate cell regeneration and improve skin texture.
Basically, chemical peeling with PRX-T33 penetrates the superficial layers of the skin without causing visible lesions, redness or edema. Thus, the treatment is ideal for post-cesarean scars, as it improves skin elasticity and firmness while reducing the appearance of scars.
In addition, PRX-T33 requires no recovery time. You can return to your daily activities immediately after the session and the results will gradually become visible as your skin regenerates [5].
Fortunately, there are many solutions for treating scars left after caesarean section. From Nordlys to advanced microneedling with Skinpen and Dermapen or chemical peeling with PRX-T33, there's a suitable option for every need. However, only a medical specialist is in a position to offer you a personalized treatment plan, depending on your skin's particularities, your breastfeeding process and other essential criteria.
Cronos Med comes to your aid with the most advanced and effective regenerative therapies, as well as a team of specialists experienced in scar treatment. Schedule a consultation now and discover how you can transform your skin and feel great in your body again!
